Since autumn 2020, work has been underway to review Inera's sourcing strategy. It's about creating the best conditions for streamlining and being able to best help our customers on their digitization journey.

 Nordic Medtest's operations will work with test and development linked to what is Inera's absolute core business. It is about the development and management of strategically important components for our customers.

- We saw early on the possibility of using our own company Nordic Medtest as a test and development center. Nordic Medtest's operations will work with test and development linked to what is Inera's absolute core business. It is about the development and management of strategically important components for our customers. At the same time, we will continue to use external suppliers for many of our services just as before, says Peter Arrhenius, CEO at Inera.

The reason why Inera chooses to use Nordic Medtest as a test and development center is that the company has extensive knowledge of Inera's services, architecture and infrastructure. The company is currently responsible for software testing within Inera. In this way, development can provide great synergies with testing and the Inera Group maintains important competence internally. It provides the opportunity for long-term lower costs while Inera can maintain sufficiently large in-house competence in strategically important areas for digitization.

- I am very happy that Inera has decided to retain expertise in our core business by becoming part of Nordic Medtest. We get better control over our development and technology as well as increased flexibility and the opportunity to prioritize. Karlstad has a strong IT industry, here there is a high level of competence, good suppliers and there is also Karlstad University with education in IT and software development. It makes it possible for us to establish this important business here, says Magnus Lindström, CEO of Nordic Medtest.
